College Football Betting: Young Tulsa offense starts from scratch

Tulsa took one of the biggest nosedives of any team in college football last season; 11-3 in 2012 to 3-9. During the offseason, the Golden Hurricane fired offensive coordinator Greg Peterson and kept thing in-house by promoting offensive line coach Denver Johnson. The offense will be pretty green with only one senior in the starting lineup. Sophomore Dane Evan is expected to start at quarterback after completing 43% of his passes to go with a 4-10 TD-to-INT ratio in eight games.

"Our offense was dysfunctional," coach Bill Blankenship said Monday at the team's media day event. "By the end of the season we were pitiful. We felt like we had to retool our offense."

College Football Handicapping: Iowa in search of big plays in 2014

Iowa's offense made strides last year, increasing 66.5 yards per game from 2012. But offensive coordinator Greg Davis is asking for a lot more, particularly when it comes to picking up big chunks of yards. Last season Iowa had only 45 plays from scrimmage that went for 20 yards or more (102nd nationally).

“I always want to see more production,” he said, noting that the unit should improve if only because “they’re much more comfortable [with the system].”

“You hope [improvement] happens, that’s the biggest thing,” starting quarterback Jake Rudock said. “We have a lot of guys coming back, which I think is helpful. And I think it allows for the ability to potentially do more.”

College Football Gambling: Utah on its sixth OC in six years

Utah is in search of more stability on offense after spending the last few years with banged up quarterbacks and a host of different offensive coordinators. Former Wyoming head coach Dave Christensen will be the Utes' sixth OC in six years. Travis Wilson (16 TDs, 16 INTs) is expected to be the team's starting quarterback.

"We feel good about our situation at quarterback," Whittingham said. "Travis Wilson obviously has the upper hand with his experience the last two years, but he will be challenged by Oklahoma transfer Kendal Thompson along with the other contenders."

"He brings a new feel to our team," Anderson said. "It's good for us. It's a very high-tempo offense that we're running, and it's really not that different from what we've been doing."

College Football Handicapping: Arizona to tweak offense following personnel losses

Two articles on Arizona and head coach Rich Rodriguez. The first, courtesy of Sports Illustrated, talks about UA's offensive system and the potential switch from run-heavy to a more balanced attack with workhorse running back Ka’Deem Carey gone. But if Arizona is going to utilize the passing game more it'll be with a new quarterback and as of now, Rich Rod has no clue who that will be.

“The receiving crew last year, with Austin getting hurt and playing all those freshmen, we were really nervous about that,” Rodriguez said. ‘We like to play at least seven or eight [receivers] in every game. And we thought, oh my gosh, those true freshmen with Nate Phillips, Samajie Grant, and Trey Griffey really played pretty well. Now those guys are back a year older with some other guys that sat out and we’re going to be so much deeper there that we’ll be able to play seven or

20* Big Ticket: Kansas City OVER 7.5 Wins

The Chiefs are the poster child for the ‘expected to be the most improved team in the NFL’ category. Quite literally, just about every statistic and metric that we have to predict NFL success or failure points towards an immediate turnaround in Kansas City this fall. And when we start to break down the offseason moves for KC, the case for dramatic improvement is perfectly clear.

It all starts with last year, when KC was an injury riddled mess with a lame duck head coach and a consistent void at the quarterback position. The Chiefs were tied dead last in the NFL in turnover margin in 2012, finishing with an average of -1.5 turnover differential per game. Only five players started all 16 games; fewer than the number of players who finished the season on injured
